Sometimes thinking up your own Facebook status updates is just too darn hard. Fortunately, there's an app for that.

"What Would I Say?" is a new Facebook app that can scan your past status updates and generate a "bot" to create new statuses so you don't have to.

With varying degrees of success.

The app, which is designed to create Facebook posts that "sound" like you, was developed by a team from Princeton University, reports The New Yorker. It went viral today when statuses and links started popping up on social media.

"It trains a Markov Bot based on mixture model of bigram and unigram probabilities derived from your past post history," the experts behind the app explained.

For the rest of us, it works by accessing every previous post a user has made, mixing them all up and reordering some of the pieces in a supposedly sensible way, according to The Independent.

The app doesn't store any information, according to Heavy, and it's just as safe to use as Facebook, but is it successful?

I gave "What Would I Say?" a try. Sometimes it works fine:

Other times--more often than not in my experience--it makes you look insane:

And my all-time favorite:

Yikes!
